How many cells result at cytokinesis? How many chromosomes per cell? This question makes no sense any help with the answer?

The number of chromosomes doesn't matter. When mitosis occurs, you go from one parent cell to 2 daughter cells. They threw in the number of chromosomes to trick you.
Good luck!

Cytokinesis is the process whereby the cytoplasm of a single cell is divided to spawn two daughter cells. It usually initiates during the late stages of mitosis, and somtimes meiosis, splitting a binucleate cell in two to ensure that chromosome number is maintained from one generation to the next. Cytokinesis must happen in both different processes. One notable exception to the normal process of cytokinesis is oogenesis (the creation of an ovum in the ovarian follicle of the ovary), where the ovum takes almost all the cytoplasm and organelles, leaving very little for the resulting polar bodies, which then die. In plant cells, a dividing structure known as the cell plate forms across the centre of the cytoplasm and a new cell wall forms between the two daughter cells.
just double the number of available chromosomes

ahh.. 2 cells and 16 chromosomes in each cell..
mitosis results in two cells with same amount of genetic material.

2 cells, as mitosis always produced two daughter cells which are genetically identical, ie same chromosome number, ie 16.
